A post on the Coldplay Twitter this morning explained that the band's guitarist Jonny Buckland used to work for the newspaper, so the announcement via a local newspaper perhaps isn't so random as we first thought.

Hopefully with new music, also comes a new tour, because if the past two stadium tours are anything to by (Mylo Xyloto 2012, Head Full Of Dreams 2016), we know Coldplay deliver one hell of a performance.
